@BrienKingsley Thanks so much 4 your message. I’m afraid the manuals are fictional but I did do a lot of research & u can find all the references at the end of the book I list some brilliant X accounts to follow. They helped me see the game in a new way. Hope u r enjoying the book. All the best

The best non fiction fictional book I’ve read in a long time ⚽️
The accuracy of how to run a football team is run is incredible and the details on management is brilliant ✅

A big thanks to @thehalfturn for this book and @SundayShare10 @Leecosgrove10 for sending it to me ⚽️

From The Half Turn: Deadline day. The longest day in football. A day when players, agents, and clubs use the ticking clock to leverage the best possible deal. A day when best laid plans quickly unravel. A day for holding your nerve when everyone around you is losing theirs.

Question: have City deliberately sought to avoid reliance on players who will compete at Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup? Or just coincidence? https://t.co/wEERihRjP9 @dharnishiqbal @cherrymcfc @rajsinghchohan @Tactx_

Pascal Gross. What a player.

Iconic…

In #Football you have to be ruthless. Target your opponents weaknesses. Punish their mistakes. #ManCity dropped 11 points in 6 games but the rest of the field did not take advantage. Now they are 2 points off top & KDB back & Pep’s teams always finish the season strong #ominous

A 10 or if Müller is playing a left-sided 8.
